Cloth Diapers - Zulilly Deals

We are expecting our 3rd baby Feb 9th. I'm considering cd'g but don't want to make a huge investment up front buying everything till I try it out and see if it's really something I can fit into my life without a lot of added stress. Plus I have a front loader that for the life of me I can't find a soak cycle on and it needs a good servicing for balance issues that we really can't afford right now. So that makes me nervous too. I'm thinking of at least cloth diapering my bf newborn and then buying more if all goes well. I will also be able to supplement a bit with all the shower dipes gifted to us. If I need a day to wash in between I'll use throw aways. How many newborns dipes would I need for one days worth? Also zulilly has 5 packs of newborn kushie brand cd's for $35. Is $7 each a good price and is this a good brand or should I hold out for the Fuzzibuns they are going to list Saturday? I don't know the price that'll be offered on those.

My LO has gone thru as many as 15 diaper changes in a 24 hr period. I have about 30 diapers and I wash every two days so I don't run out. It does slow down once they're out of the newborn stage though.

To answer your question as to how many diapers you need for one day, a newborn goes through about 10-12 diapers per day. If you plan on washing every day get 15-18 so you'll have a few extra diapers when the soiled ones are in the wash. Also keep in mind not all babies immediately for into one size diapers and will need a different set of diapers for the newborn stage. Most one size diapers don't really fit until around 8-10 lbs. So if you plan on the fuzzibunz, check the size range. Same with the Kushies. I have small babies, so I had to get a separate set of newborn diapers in the 4-9 lb range before my LO can fit in our one size BumGenius and GroVia diapers. I don't have any input on these brands as I've never used them.

I've heard that kushies really suck. Google some reviews. My local store has them and i hate the feel of the waterproof layer. Fuzzibunz are pretty awesome. They're so soft! I only have a couple because i prefer just cotton. Cleans easier.

If you don't want to buy newborn cloth diapers, there are some companies online that rent them for $30-$40 per month for 20+ diapers, that way you aren't stuck with diapers you will only use for a short time.

If you are going to buy, hold out for the Fuzzibunz.

Thanks for all the great advice. I think I'll see just how great of a deal zulily has for the fuzzibunz and then consider if renting might be a good option. I was a bit disappointed that a chain as large as babies r us had practically nothing in the way of cloth diapering supplies. It'd be nice to be able to register for some of it.
